comicsyte95 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, Corona smith said: I think the easiest way to tell if it’s a newsstand is the UPC barcode that would appear on the front cover of that particular issue. Lol. Now almost all books have barcodes. I have various methods for spotting them but a sure fire way and please correct me if I’m wrong but Newsstands will have a separate 2 digit number at the end and directs will have 5 at the end. In newsstands that signifies the month. In direct it’s generally issue number, printing number and cover. I stand corrected happier. Now I want to have both . i just like reading threads like this to be better informed. Corona smith and WolverineX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In newsstands that signifies the month. In direct it’s generally issue number, printing number and cover. In newsstands, it (usually) signifies the issue printed during that calendar (going by cover date) year. For example: This was the 15th (and last) issue of Amazing Spiderman with a 1988 cover date. This *usually* corresponds with the month, because most comics are printed monthly, but not always. Corona smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona smith Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I’d imagine someone at image comics would know. I’m going to send them an email and see what info they can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who are still around from then would not likely have been in a position to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineX Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 I guess we could just figure out which year is the last newsstands and then figure out which series were published during that time 11 hours ago, Corona smith said: I’d imagine someone at image comics would know.

Corona smith Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Even just the year would help narrow it down. I mean someone has to know. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have them in hand yet. I do have a CyberForce #1 (LS) CGC 9.6 but it’s something I got before I got into newsstands so it’s a direct. I’ve been looking for a #25 newsstand for awhile and it’s included in this set. It has a preview of the Darkness which predates and other Darkness books. I’m going to have to go through my longboxes and see what else I have. Edited January 25, 2020 by Corona smith WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
